    Ceremony Is a Traditional Indian Samskara (Ceremony) Which Leads the Vatu (Child) to the Teacher

    Om Sri Sairam Samoohika Upanayana Mahotsavam or Mass Thread Ceremony is a traditional Indian Samskara (ceremony) which leads the Vatu (child) to the teacher. The Upanayanam ceremony initiates the recital of the Gayatri Mantra which prays for clear intelligence, and thus starts the journey of the vatu taking his first steps to the ultimate realisation of the Reality. This along with investiture of the sacred thread or the “Yagnopavit” which is made up of three strands of thread, which signifies the three responsibilities that the child takes up upon himself: responsibility towards parents, responsibility towards Knowledge or the Master and responsibility towards society. The Gayatri mantra has the subtle power of removing evil tendencies and implanting virtuous habits, so the Upanayanam is a unique Samskara. Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba says that the Upanayanam is not only beneficial to the boys initiated but also to everyone who witnesses it and draws inspiration from it. Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba had performed many Upanayanams for individual families and for groups of children in Prasanthi Nilayam and at Brindavan Ashram. In recent memory Bhagawan had performed one such Samoohika Upanayanam at Prasanthi Nilayam on February 10th 2000 for 700 boys from the Sri Sathya Sai Institute of Higher Learning, 2005 in Brindavan Ashram and a Upanayanam ceremony was also conducted in 2012. On Feb 10th 2019, exactly 19 years later on the same day of the Year 2000 Samoohika Upanayanam, the Sri Sathya Sai Seva Organisations India is proposing to conduct a Samoohika Upanayanam at Prasanthi Nilayam. Important Dates & Location Date of the Upanayanam – 10th February 2019 Registration closes – 15th December 2018 or if the number of Vatus registration is full, whichever is first.

    Religious Fact Sheets

    CULTURE AND RELIGION Hinduism Introduction Hinduism is the oldest and the third largest of the world’s major religions, after Christianity and Islam, with 900 million adherents. Hindu teaching and philosophy has had a profound impact on other major religions. Hinduism is a faith as well as a way of life, a world view and philosophy upholding the principles of virtuous and true living for the Indian diaspora throughout the world. The history of Hinduism is intimately entwined with, and has had a profound influence on, the history of the Indian sub-continent. About 80% of the Indian population regard themselves as Hindu. Hindus first settled in Australia during the 19th century to work on cotton and sugar plantations and as merchants. In Australia, the Hindu philosophy is adopted by Hindu centres and temples, meditation and yoga groups and a number of other spiritual groups. The International Society for Krishna Consciousness is also a Hindu organisation. There are more than 30 Hindu temples in Australia, including one in Darwin. Background and Origins Hinduism is also known as Sanatana dharma meaning “immemorial way of right living”. Hinduism is the oldest and most complex of all established belief systems, with origins that date back more than 5000 years in India. There is no known prophet or single founder of Hinduism. Hinduism has a range of expression and incorporates an extraordinarily diverse range of beliefs, rituals and practices, The Hindu faith has numerous schools of thought, has no founder, no organisational hierarchy or structure and no central administration but the concept of duty or dharma, the social and ethical system by which an individual organises his or her life.

    JPJRS 7/1 ISSN 0972-3331, January 2004 36-50 The Place and Role of Women in Hinduism Usha Bambawale • Padam Pallavi Society, Pune 411016 Abstract: Hinduism is a way of life. In the true sense one is bom a Hindu and cannot be made one by conversion or by an ‘institution.’ The way of life is today called a ‘religion.’ The rules and regulations, norms and structure utilized for peaceful happy living patterns have been adopted into rites and rituals. Today the ossification of cus­ toms into religious explanations has made the way of life into a rigid pattern. Yet Hinduism is one religion that has had several socio­ religious reform movements and there have been drastic changes in life and worship to accommodate time and tide. This paper traces the path of the Hindu woman from ancient to modern times. It estab­ lishes the fact that liberative attitudes have transcended religious oppression not limiting educational and social advancement of the Hindu woman. The forward march in the secular fields and the atti­ tude of liberal values is more evident amongst the Hindu woman than among the women of other monolithic institutionalized religions in India. Today women have received their equal status in Hinduism by being accepted as priests and Gurus. The paper has three distinc­ tive areas of discussion, 1.Hinduism, 2.The place of women in Hin­ duism and her role as interpreted in society. 3. The Hindu women in context to the process of liberalization and her ability to change the social attitude with the help of law and education.

    A Glimpse of Paramahamsa Omkarananda Saraswati His

    Above all, Europe needs urgently Omkarananda Swami Omkarananda is a whole culture in himself, a culture which might be a real alternative to our own Western narrow world-view. His state- ments <about himself and on meditation> are genuine utterings of a real Guru whose God-given Mission (also Sivananda says, Guru is one who is sent by God) is to bring to the people the light, the truth, the peace and the joy which he himself IS. — Professor Dr. Carl-A. Keller, UNIVERSITY OF LAUSANNE & UNIVERSITY OF NEUCHATEL, Switzerland. OMKARANANDA commands the intellectual energy, literary skill, spiritual brilliance and cultural background needed to answer most of the modern challenges. — Dr. Edward de Betterncourt, M.A., Ph.D., D.Litt., UNIVERSITY OF SANTIAGO, South America. Providence has, me thinks, endowed him with every excellence that entitle him to World’s Presidentship. He has a valuable message for our civilization. — Dr. Florence la Fontaine, Ph.D., D.Litt., Indiana, USA. We as the ‘Underdeveloped’ and the ‘Illiterate’ of another type here in Central Europe than the inhabitants of Equatorial Africa – yet not less needy in our poverty than they – require and demand Swami Omkarananda’s help and services in a great and steadily increasing number, and this in spite of the achievements of some of our big and powerful organisations which seem so secure and unfailing. It is left to the reader to continue this comparison in accordance with his own experiences and lived events. — Dr. phil. Erwin R. Jacobi, UNIVERSITY OF ZURICH, Switzerland. The comparisons Omkarananda draws between Sivananda and A Glimpse of Plato, Kant, Leibniz, Schleiermacher and other philosophers, are very important for a better understanding between East and West.
